To the Editor of the Soutliern Planter. 



Dear Sir, — I wish to communicate through your 

 columns to the breeders of Shorthorns that I have been 

 authorized by the executors of the late l\oel J, Becar, 

 to dispose of" his entire herd of far-fumed Sliorthorns. 



We have also determined not to sell a single animal 

 from that herd until June 1857, on the day ^ f my an- 

 nual sale, which generally takes place about the 20th. 



Many enquiries have been made by letters and other 

 wise, and I take this course to answer previous and fu- 

 ture questions. 



A very full and explanatory catalogue will be issued 

 in dne time, and very generally circulated to all my 

 present correspondents and as many others as may de- 

 sire it.

Pianos of E. P. Nash. 



Among the citizen store-keepers long established 

 and well-known in Petersburg, is Mr. E. P. Nash, 

 whose fame in the piano line, it seems, has reached 

 far beyond the limits of this State. We have, on for- 

 mer occasions, alluded to the superiority of his pianos, 

 and on seeing them spoken fa\orabIy of by other jour- 

 nals, we take pleasure in transmitting some of the 

 opinions into our column. 



Our friends of the N. G. Christian Advocate, say 

 firstly of Nash's pianos : 



Pianos. — It is supposed that E. P. Nash, of Peters- 

 burg, has sold more pianos than any one else in the 

 South. His pianos Lave given general satisfaction in 

 North Carolina. 



Next, the North Carolina Standard, says on the 

 ?ame subject : 



So Air as our information extends, we endorse the 



above. No pianos now sold are so celebrated in this 

 section as those from Mr. Nash. 



The Alabama Register in noticing a concert says, 

 ^ The piano-forte used was from the store of E. P. 

 Nash, of Petersburg, Va., and was one of the finest-- 

 toned instruments we have ever heard. 



And now hear ns. We doubly endorse all the 

 above and add this : 



Mr. Nash's pianos are the cheapest in the South, 

 and the best-made in the Nortli, from the manufacto- 

 ries of Dunham and of Wor. ester. 



Whenever any of our < itizens, or country readers 

 on coming to town desire to see and examine, or try 

 the above pianos, they will be most politely attended 

 to at Mr. Nash's, by th t polite and courteo"us gentle- 

 man, Mr. R. Riches.— ;S' ^S. Democrat.

 of connection with the forward ends of the handles, 

 nmnhig back and curved at irregular distances so as 

 to serve as shafts for the attachment of the hoes or 

 shovels. The shovels are pointed at both ends and 

 with cufis underneath at the centre, by means of which 

 ihey are keyed on the shaft, are reversible at the plea- 

 sure of the ploughman b\ the removal of the keys. 



A premium was awarded to this implemeni at the 

 late State Agricultural F'air, also on the Corn Planter 

 and Seed Drill exhibited by the subscriber. ,
